Directions for Use
Give this medicine with food to avoid an upset stomach. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect.
How it works
Cebest 50mg Dry Syrup is an antibiotic that works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering (cell wall) which is essential for the survival of the bacteria. By doing so, this medicine stops the infection-causing bacteria from growing further and prevents the infection from spreading without making the bacteria resistant to further treatment.
Quick Tips
Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again or become resistant or cause another infection. Give this medicine with food to avoid an upset stomach. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Conditions like common cold and flu are caused by viruses. Never use this medicine for such conditions. Only give Cebest 50mg Dry Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

Frequently asked questions
What if I accidentally give too much Cebest 50mg Dry Syrup?
Giving an extra dose of Cebest 50mg Dry Syrup is unlikely to cause harm. However, if you think your child has taken too much of the medicine, please consult a doctor immediately. Overdose can lead to unwanted side effects and potentially worsen their condition.
Are there any possible serious side effects of Cebest 50mg Dry Syrup?
Some severe side effects associated with this medication include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergic reactions, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. If you experience these symptoms, consult your child's doctor for guidance.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Cebest 50mg Dry Syrup?
Cebest 50mg Dry Syrup can interact with other medications or substances. Inform your child's doctor about any other medications they are taking before starting Cebest 50mg Dry Syrup. Additionally, consult their doctor before administering any other medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Cebest 50mg Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics generally do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have just been vaccinated. However, it is recommended that children taking antibiotics wait until they recover from their illness before getting vaccinated.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Cebest 50mg Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
The doctor may recommend periodic kidney function tests and liver function tests to monitor your child's condition.
Is yellow-green mucus from my child's nose a sign of bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not necessarily indicate the need for antibiotics. During a common cold, it is normal for mucus to thicken and change color. Symptoms typically last 7-10 days.
Can I give my child antibiotics if they have a sore throat and ear infection?
No. More than 80% of sore throats and ear infections are caused by viruses, and antibiotics are not prescribed for viral infections. If your child has symptoms such as a sore throat, runny nose, cough, pain, or discharge from the ear, it is likely due to a virus. Consult their doctor for guidance.
Does a common cold caused by viruses always result in a secondary bacterial infection? When to start an antibiotic?
In most cases, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics to treat viral infections may lead to side effects without benefiting your child's health. Use antibiotics only after consulting with their doctor.
Can Cebest 50mg Dry Syrup impact my child's digestive system?
Children often have a sensitive stomach and may develop stomach upset while taking antibiotics. When antibiotics are given, the good bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract may be affected too. Cebest 50mg Dry Syrup may kill off the good bacteria along with the bad, increasing the risk of developing other infections. If your child experiences diarrhea while on Cebest 50mg Dry Syrup, do not stop the medicine course. Instead, consult their doctor for guidance.
Can Cebest 50mg Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, irregular treatment, repeated use, and misuse of Cebest 50mg Dry Syrup can lead to antibiotic resistance. Resistant bacteria are no longer killed by the antibiotics and may cause reinfection.
